An independent people's tribunal has been established to inquire into forced organ harvesting from, amongst others, prisoners of conscience in China. The Tribunal will investigate what criminal offences, if any, have been committed by state or state-approved bodies/ organisations in China that may have engaged in forced organ harvesting.

Sir Geoffrey Nice, who has extensive experience in international human rights law including at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, will chair the Tribunal of seven independent members. Mr Hamid Sabi will provide legal counsel, drawing on his expertise from the Iran Tribunal.
